ASC Office Spring Cleaning 08'

Today was the first spring cleaning of the ASC Office since...who knows? It must have been a long time because that place is just screaming for some organization (ahaha...). Funny thing is, I am not a psycho-anal, organizational neak-freak but stepping inside that office gave me migraines every time...possibly from all the dust and scary disease's cooking in there. So I was so looking forward to this cleanup meeting for realzz.

We purposely scheduled the clean-up during the normal meeting time so that no one can really make a excuse not to be there. I have no idea why I thought we can organize that office in a hour, there was so much shit to toss out. The amount of eating utensils/plates/napkins etc that have built up over the years was OVERWHELMING. We probably have enough to last all 6 organizations for 3 years or something. No jokes. The grossest stuff we found had to be that Gatorade bottle still have full with mold, the bag of rice that had to be like 10 years old and lots of expired snacks...mmmm

I haven't figured out what is the best way to organize things on such a large scale. It's hard when people leave every year and the transitions are done in such a hurry. Things get lost in translation and basically the piles and piles of stuff in the office seems to be all the result of it. It was great seeing pictures, programs of the events clubs have held in the past...like a bizarre time machine sucking you in. I found pamphlets of ASC when it was actually called Asian Student Union where they had all these different clubs (for example VSA wasn't formed yet) which was just weird to think of.

One day maybe the office could actually be turned into a office instead of a storage space, something Ben Yoo really wants to do. Right now it looks a bit difficult, but maybe one day...

I guess it is a bit of the Asian influence within me...cleaning to greet the new year and hoping for a better start. Fingers crossed.
